We’re back for another early bird special! Every couple weeks, I join the great guys over at FNTSY Network for a phone chat, and we dig into what lineup I would roll with if I had to set one on Tuesday. And my early Week 8 lineup is full of talking points!

First, though, there are a few things we should discuss about the upcoming week, including the fact that there is another London game this week – the third (and final) London game of the season! So the Lions and Chiefs will do battle at 9:30am ET – take note of that if you want to get in on any Calvin Johnson action against that rough Chiefs secondary.

We’re back, baby! That’s right, we’re a week late, but DailyFantasyDaily.com is back on track with their FanDuel Cheat Sheet Week 2. Daily Fantasy Football is about to get very interesting in the coming weeks, and we’ll be here discussing the ins and outs of building lineups and taking advantage of good DFS values.

While we mostly serve FanDuel owners on this site (I happen to be a columnist for FanDuel Insider, writing a couple features each week for them), but we also have check boxes so you can get my DFS picks for a Draft Kings Cheat Sheet Week 2 and for FantasyAces.com.

Before we get too far into this FanDuel cheat sheet, I’d also like to point out a couple other DFS articles you might be interested in:

Let’s get right into it – the FanDuel Week 2 Cheat Sheet offers up several very good value plays for this week’s NFL matchups.

Stick with a stud at quarterback, as I’m not a big fan of any of the middle-tier guys.

But among the running backs, injuries and suspensions have made players like Browns RB Terrance West and Matt Asiata good values in FanDuel Week 2 contests.

My only problem with West is – he had a horrible preseason, with 2.7 yards per carry, so it’s difficult to give him too much credit entering Week 2, after a breakout Week 1. Especially when Isaiah Crowell played so well, too. The “other” rookie might actually be the better play – especially in tournaments where you need diversity.

Welcome to Week 2 of the Daily Fantasy Football season! Well, I mean, it’s actually Week 2 of the NFL season and of traditional Fantasy Football, but let’s be honest, you’re here because you’re a DFS guy.

There are plenty of good matchups in Week 2, and there are a few players at each position I like a little more than others. For instance, I like Andrew Luck Monday night against Philadelphia, who the Jaguars had pretty good success against.

I also like Matt Asiata as a super-cheap play against a Patriots team that struggled to stop the Dolphins run game.

It’s such an easy game to play – and you don’t even have to gamble any money!

You can play it for free, with a chance to win $1. That’s a good deal!

It’s basically a game where you pick one player among five pairs of players you think will do the best this week.

For instance, here’s who they have going in Week 1.

Week 1 Draft Day Rapid Fire Picks

So, let’s break those matchups down real quick.

Class of 2012 QBs: If you believe Luck is going to be in a shootout, he might be the better pick for you. Foles lost a lot this offseason when DeSean Jackson went to Washington, but he now has Darren Sproles and a better Zach Ertz. MY PICK: Foles

Battle of NY QBs: I already mentioned how I love Geno this week on DraftKings, but that’s in salary play. Manning faces a tough front seven, but if he gets even a little bit of time, he’s going to hurt this secondary. MY PICK: Manning

Mediocre NFL WR1s: The Patriots picked up CB Darrelle Revis this offseason, and the Saints should pick apart this Falcons defense once again. MY PICK: Colston

Sophomore vs. Veteran: I’m going to need Patterson to prove something to me before I take him over V-Jax. MY PICK: Jackson

Tight Ends in Texas: The 49ers is missing about half of its starters from a year ago defensively, but this Cowboys defense could be the worst in the NFL again. MY PICK: Davis
